St. Louis, Mo., June 23, 2016 – Washington University in St. Louis head football coach Larry Kindbom will welcome 34 incoming freshmen to the football program this fall.

“We are excited about the class of 2020. We have several players coming in from championship teams from all over the country. We filled our needs with both size and speed,” said Kindbom, head coach of the Bears since 1989. “It is also an extremely strong class academically. We believe the quality of depth they add as a group will take us the next step in our championship tradition.”

The class of 2020 features representatives from 16 different states, including eight players from Illinois, five from Missouri and three from Ohio and Texas.

WashU finished the 2015 season with a 6-4 overall record, including a perfect 5-0 mark at home on Francis Field. The Bears open their season on the road Sept. 3 at Carnegie Mellon University, followed by the home and Southern Athletic Association (SAA) opener on Sept. 17 vs. Centre College.
